Still Counting


As some of you know, we started a new series called "Still Counting". In this series, we are seeing that math really does matter to God. We see all throughout the Bible, cases, that deal with numbers. Some we threw out on Wednesday were:

1. The animals in the ark (2x2)
2. Gideon's 300 men to fight against the Midianites
3. 12 Disciples
4. Feeding of the 5,000

As we looked at the beginning of this series we looked at the word "addition". We see that God loves adding things. He added tons of things during Creation. We also see that God added to the number of people being saved in the Church in Acts 2.

At the end of the night, we had a time of personal reflection. I set a box in the front of the room and you or your friends (for those who were not there) thought and prayed over what they were "adding" to their life recently. I received some great responses. I won't put any "super serious" ones on here, but some included:

1. Sports
2. Theater
3. Leadership
4. Older People
5. Self Control

There were some negative ones as well which I had encouraged and will be praying over for the next couple of weeks.
Anyways, if you are reading this and you weren't there this past Wednesday night or you just browse this blog, what are you adding to your life nowadays???

Think about it!
